“Ballet taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of mentorship. I remember my ballet teacher saying that corrections come from a place of care, pushing us to be our best selves. These lessons resonate as I step into the world of medicine, where learning never stops.”

— Marie Lim, Class of 2027
